Afrobeats musician Davido discusses the important contributions that Africans—especially Nigerians—are making in a variety of fields, such as entertainment and healthcare.
He highlighted the value of African ingenuity and inventiveness during an appearance on Afric TV.
Davido emphasised the accomplishments of the Nigerian community in the medical sector by pointing out that many of the best physicians in the US are Nigerians.
Additionally, he noted that Africans are contributing new ideas and viewpoints to the worldwide music industry.
Davido also mentioned that Western filmmakers are now looking to Africa for inspiration, with Netflix and Amazon Prime sourcing movie ideas from the continent.
He expressed pride in the growth of African representation in global media, citing the increase in Nigerian movies on Netflix’s top 10 list.
He said;
“The best doctors in America are Nigerians. You can search it. Even in my record label [Sony Music], Africans bring the best ideas. That shows that our imagination is off the grid.
“Netflix and Amazon Prime come to Africa to get movie ideas. Now, when you come on Netflix, you will see about two Nigerian movies in the top 10. Africa is next, trust me. I feel like we have everything but just missing a couple of things.”
